Britons to be ‘nudged’ towards electric cars
This week Shapps will practise what he preaches when he takes delivery of a battery-powered Tesla, paid for with £44,000 of his own money (plus a £3,500 government grant). It is equipped with “full self-driving capability”, a £5,800 option that allows the car to drive autonomously. He ordered it two years ago, long before he knew he would be the minister in charge of transport.
Even the transport minister of Norway, which leads the world in electric cars per head, has a diesel SUV at home.
Shapps said his decision to buy a Tesla had been influenced by the knowledge that there were chargers at South Mimms services on the A1/M25 junction, a few miles from home. He had been surprised to learn there were as many as 20,000 public chargers in Britain, and said many people, like him, were unaware of them.
